Houseplants You Can Easily Grow From Leaves

African Violet

African violets can be propagated from a leaf cutting placed in water or soil. The leaf will eventually sprout roots and a new plant will emerge from the base of the stem.

Begonia

Begonias, especially the Rex and angel-wing varieties, can be propagated by placing a leaf cutting directly in soil. Even a section of a leaf, when pinned down to the soil, can produce new plants.

Succulents

Many succulents like Echeveria and Sedum can grow from leaf cuttings. Simply lay leaves on dry succulent soil and mist lightly. Roots and new plants will soon emerge from the ends of the leaves.

Snake Plant

Snake plants can be propagated by cutting a leaf into segments and planting them in soil. Make sure to keep the orientation of the leaf as it was originally growing.

Peperomia

Peperomia leaves can root in water or soil. Some species will even start to grow tiny plants right on the leaf itself when it's still attached to the mother plant.

Kalanchoe

This succulent can be propagated from leaf cuttings. Simply place the leaf on the soil, and it will eventually sprout roots and new shoots.

Jade Plant

Jade plant leaves can grow new plants if laid on top of the soil. Roots will develop from the part of the leaf that was attached to the stem.

Pothos

While typically grown from stem cuttings, pothos can also be propagated by laying a leaf with an attached stem node on soil. The node is where the roots will emerge.
